Major news sites are so annoying (pointless even?) these days. They are a paragraph of text + a paywall. When you get access it's just a summary (assuming they understood it correctly) + fluff text and ultimately points to a tweet or published document somewhere else where you can get the actual details and direct quotes.

Notice how they don't even include a link to the sources like https://wikimediafoundation.org/news/2023/02/21/u-s-supreme-... does.

This is like arguing that newsstands are pointless because the owner yells "This isn't a library!" when you open the newspaper and start reading without buying the newspaper first.

So, my point is even after you pay you still don't get much. You get nothing until you pay, then you get interpretation fluff after.

This article doesn't even link to any sources or the legal documents.
